"Okay, okay, let's stop the discussion for now. The starting players of both teams have come out.
The highly anticipated English derby is finally about to begin!
Hey!
Why is the corner of Evans' mouth broken?
The side of Rooney's jersey is torn ….
Is De Gea's chicken nest hair a new trend?
Evra's face looks swollen ….
Why is Qin Xiong's jersey so dirty? It looks like he rolled on the ground.
Why does Suarez look like he's limping when he just came out?
Gerard's mouth also looks like there's blood ….
Oh my God, what happened?! "
"If I'm not wrong, there must have been a fierce clash between the two teams in the tunnel just now! A physical clash! "
"This is also the reason why the game was delayed."
Martin Taylor was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he said, "Well, I believe there will be internal news after the game. Let's put these things to the back of our minds for now.
Let's look at the starting lineups of both teams.
Manchester United's starting lineup: 442.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra.
Midfielders: Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Ryan Giggs.
Forwards: Rooney, Welbeck.
Manchester United looked like they were going to play with momentum at home today. After using the 4-3-3-1 and failing to stop Liverpool, Ferguson re-used the 4-4-2 formation.
Liverpool's starting lineup: 4,312.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.
Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerard, Tiote.
Forwards: Suarez, Qin Xiong.
It looks like today will be another head-to-head game. Liverpool's midfield configuration is really enviable. Will they stir up trouble at Old Trafford today? Let's wait and see. "
The conflict in the tunnel continued to the game.
Comain gave the team an order before the game started: Be brave and fight Manchester United today!
Liverpool had always been too lazy to compete with their opponents in terms of muscle. But today, the Red Army took the initiative to show off their muscle power to the Red Devils!
From the very beginning of the competition, the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.
In the second minute of the match, Rooney retreated in the front field to provide support. Tiote came up diagonally from the back and knocked Rooney to the ground.
The referee called for a foul on Tiote and gave him a warning.
Manchester United did not back down either. When Baines intercepted the ball and dribbled forward to launch a counterattack in the fifth minute of the game, Valencia's fierce tackle almost sent Baines and the ball out of the sidelines. Fortunately, Baines managed to dodge in time.
Valencia was also warned by the referee.
The match could not proceed smoothly at all.
The two teams destroyed the game almost like beasts.
At the ninth minute of the match, the first yellow card appeared.
The Red Army captain Gerard's tackle on Scholes earned him a yellow card.
Three minutes later, Evra, who had been beaten into a sorry state by Suarez's guerrilla tactics in the players' tunnel, threw Suarez to the ground at the back waistline in a clinch!
Evra also received a yellow card!
Qin Xiong's direct free kick outside the penalty area almost caused De Gea to score an own goal.
He made a save and let go. Seeing the football rolling towards the goal line, De Gea pounced out and scooped the ball out of the goal line with one hand.
The Liverpool players raised their hands to signal that the ball had gone in, but the referee did not say anything!
"Liverpool should have taken the lead! The slow motion replay shows that the ball has most likely crossed the goal line! "
"Oh, please, Jamie, stop saying good things for Liverpool. Be objective. The ball crossing the goal line does not count. Can you please understand the rules better?"
"Gary, you're not Hawkeye. How can you say that the ball did not cross the goal line as a whole?"
The fierce confrontation on the field continued.
In the 16th minute of the match, Giggs crossed the ball from the side. Welbeck and Skrtel jumped in the penalty area to compete for a header. Skrtel's arm was raised a little high, and Welbeck's face was touched by Skrtel's arm. After Welbeck landed, he covered his face and protested to the referee!
"Look, that's a penalty kick! After Skrtel jumped, he clearly used his arm to press Welbeck down. What's worse is that his arm hit Welbeck's face! That's a penalty kick! "
"Gary, you're a defender. You know better than anyone that that kind of action is normal. Don't look for trouble here! A penalty kick? If that's a penalty kick, Manchester United will get a penalty kick for every pass they make. "
In the 21st minute of the match, the deadlock on the field was finally broken.
In the midfield melee, Gerard and Scholes lost control of the football at the same time in the scramble.
Alonso, who followed from behind, did not stop the ball. He directly sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area with a long pass.
Qin Xiong had just stopped the ball when he sensed someone behind him.
Rafael was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. He was also affected by the conflict between the two teams in the players' tunnel. He rushed up to tackle from behind.
Qin Xiong had already thought of what to do before he started to tackle.
He knocked the ball behind him, then turned around and bypassed Rafael, who had rushed up to tackle the ball.
The ball passed by him from behind!
Qin Xiong, who had regained control of the ball at the edge of the penalty area, faced Ferdinand.
Qin Xiong's gaze turned to De Gea. In Ferdinand's eyes, Qin Xiong was observing the goalkeeper's position.
Then, he saw Qin Xiong make a pose to shoot.
Ferdinand subconsciously went to block it from the front.
He did not expect Qin Xiong's foot to kick the ball past him.
Fake shot! Really pass!
After Qin Xiong bypassed Ferdinand, he faced De Gea again. This time, he was just about to kick when Carrick, who rushed up from behind, knocked Qin Xiong to the ground!
"That should be a penalty kick!"
Jamie Redknapp exclaimed in the live broadcast room!
Gary Neville opened his mouth to say something, but the referee had already blown the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.
Ferdinand rushed up angrily and complained loudly in front of the referee. He pointed to the midfield area, indicating that the referee should have blown the whistle to stop the game before Liverpool's attack. He believed that the Red Army captain had clearly committed a foul in the fight between Gerard and Scholes.
But the referee ignored him. Ferguson also walked to the sidelines and protested to the fourth official.
The Old Trafford of the Theatre of Dreams was filled with boos.
Qin Xiong had just set up the football at the penalty spot when Evra kicked the ball away from the side. Qin Xiong immediately scowled at him and asked, "Are you crazy? Either you continue to finish the unfinished business in the players' tunnel right now! Or you can get lost like a kid who hasn't grown up. Do you think such childish behavior and mischievous behavior can change anything? Idiot! "
Qin Xiong had just finished speaking when Evra immediately walked towards him and asked, "What did you say about me?"
"I said you're an idiot! What's wrong? Are you going to become a jerk now? Come on! "
The referee sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed in front of Qin Xiong. He stood between the two men and gave Evra a warning.
Evra had a yellow card on him. The referee had to remind him that if he continued to cause trouble, he would be sent off with a red card!
This made Evra turn around and leave with an unhappy expression.
